Comment Spam

The photoblog is being hit with a massive storm of comment spam. Most is being filtered by Akismet, but quite a few messages have gotten into the moderation queue this weekend. What’s odd about this is that I have comments “turned off” for old articles (and everything in the photoblog is old.

Even weirder is that this blog isn’t being hit as hard, even though it’s far more frequently updated.

I’ve set the photoblog to require registration and login to post comments for the time being. I’m looking for more good tools, any advice is appreciated.
